Yeah I actually think I'm more interested in Big Show or Kane than anything involving Rowan. What genius ever thought that guy could be a singles star?

In the mask behind Bray though, he's awesome. But now they've ruined that.

Or just put him and Harper back together. Shame they broke them apart. I think Harper can be fine alone but IMO he's already getting lost in the shuffle.

Was there really ever that much potential for Rowan though? I always thought he was basically maxed out as a henchmen, he isn't really good in the ring or on the mic.

Harper on the other hand is outstanding in the ring, and I thought his IC title win was going to be the start of something. Why he isn't in either Kane or Big Show's spot, I have no idea, he's a lot better than either of them.

Probably not (Rowan). I figured they'd do more with him (even if in short term) than they have.

Rowan/Harper didn't even have a feud. Looking where they're at today as singles, I have no idea why they broke them up. They had a perfect opportunity to reform them in the Royal Rumble match.

He does suck on mic, but I thought they had something when he was a simpleton gone rogue... when he was just walking up to the women doing interviews touching their hair saying "pretty." or when he picked a fight with show saying "bully!"... one word stuff like that I thought worked really well. Basically a big wild animal that nobody could control... sets up well for a reunion with Bray if need be.

Once they made him a genius / vintner / whatever else smart people do it killed that. Because of course someone who has smarts/money/time to make wine would naturally run off in to the woods with Bray and wear around a filthy sheep mask.

I know its rasslin and it has to be taken with a massive Rakishi sized grain of salt but jesus make it a little bit reasonable

Can't recall the PPV, but the 2 out of 3 falls title match with The Usos was one of the best tag matches I've ever seen.

 
So what happens tonight? Do they cave and embarrass themselves and scrap the plan they've supposedly had for almost a year and put Bryan into a triple threat or have him win outright? Or do they stick to their guns and go with their chosen one?

 
They'll cave.

No way do they put Bryan in this match against Reigns only to have him not go to WM and fight for the title. Having Bryan lose to him tonight would make the boos from the smarky WM crowd even more thunderous.

The only way I could see Bryan losing is if they know Lesnar is resigning, which means they could do a double turn with Reigns and Lesnar, with Lesnar emerging from WM still the champ.

They could always turn Reigns heel and put him over by beating the living **** out of Bryan.

I'd go with some kind of DQ that turns it in to a triple threat at WM.

Honestly I'd rather see Reigns vs Lesnar one on one. Bryan had his moment last year and I'm not a fan of the WM main event being a triple threat.

Be surprised if they cave in again. Reigns wins, somehow.

 
I'll predict Reigns wins.

I'd like to see Bryan vs. heel Sheamus at Mania if that's the alternative. Judging by the promos, they're bringing him back as a heel. Heel Sheamus is a ####load better than face Sheamus. What better way to re-intro him than 2nite. They can tie in Sheamus beating Bryan in seconds at previous Mania into storyline.

 
The Masked Man over at Grantland kind of put this in perspective in that (if you can get by the whole hatred of Reigns) they have created a match that anyone can win and it is actually believable that they don't like one another. I will watch tonight. There are a few sort of interesting matches.

 
Obviously WWE doesn't want Bryan to be their top guy, for whatever reason. Maybe they give him a gimmick like Mick Foley in ECW where he only does armbars.

 
I am at Fast Lane tonight (GB work comps). 1. Very pro-Sting crowd.

2. Dueling Cena chants in full effect.

3. Quite a bit of YES chants before doors opened.

4. I am standing right above Renee Young and I am smitten.

Should be a good, not quite sell out crowd.

 
Have the benefit of hindsight, but watching the WM "24" special on WWE Network, Warrior really didnt look well at all. Can't imagine what some of the guys there that weekend were thinking after he passed. At least he got closure with WWE.

Seeing this makes me miss old school managers. Blassie ,the Brain ,the Captain , Cornette, Fuji.

 
Great way to silence the crowd even more.. The Usos

Rhodes match was bad anyway, but great botch ending to finish it off.

Crowd farted on the Dusts match all along.

Good reax for Usos, but jack for Kiddsaro. Can you blame them given how they have bungled Cesaro?

 
Thank god Usos lost.

And JBL needs to #### off saying Usos are the best team to come around in a long time. They're a ####ty midcard talent team in a nonexistant tag division. At least they yell U-so 255 times every match

 
Bella vs Paige is by far the best match of the night so far and I mean that purely in terms of wrestling
